La Ciucculella is many things: bathing stablishment, restaurant, disco-bar and beach bar. The name derives from the roof built in the 1950s in the shape of a shell (ciucculella), facing onto the sea at Vasto Marina. The design creates well-defined spaces between the centre, the great clam, which becomes a bar and disco, the seafront, with umbrellas in the daytime and a beach bar at night, and the terrace in front, restaurant and pizzeria.
